shots on target

Goalkeeper's work incoming

Shots on target is a sports statistic counting attempts that would have scored if not stopped by the goalkeeper or last defender.

In soccer and hockey, a shot counts as on target if it requires a save or goes in—shots that hit the post or miss wide don't qualify.

They had fifteen shots but only four on target.
